Abstract

A variable stroke and compression ratio engine employs multiple pistons (8) connected to a wobbler (42). A crank (10) with an axis of rotation has an upper journal (24) with a first angle relative to the axis and a lower journal (18) with a second angle with respect to the axis. A cradle (32) connected for rotational motion with respect to the wobbler is carried by the crank with sliding engagement to the upper and lower journals for translation between a first high eccentricity position and second low eccentricity position.
